The Republicans have reduced the State levy lor taxation to two and sev en-tenths mills the lowest it has been since 1840. Circleville Union-Herald. Yes, and the reduction, upon its face was made for strictly electioneering purposes, as the State is now about a million and a half of dollars in debt, while the State treasurer is drawing in advance upon the June collections for means to meet current expenses. The idea is, we suppose, that Ohio's share of the old war tax will be refunded time to meet the inevitable deficit that has been so deceitfully bargained for. In any event, however, the reduction argument will be available during the campaign. Bellefontaine Examiner. There have been organized in tha United States 822 life insurance com panies, and of this number only 47 are now alive. Mr. Adelbert Hamilton, in the Forum, uses these figures, and oth ers like them, to show that the. public service of the country is more econom icaliy managed than private enter prises. He sets the tailures of the latter over against the jobbery of the former, and declares that "our government history will be searched in vain to find in the management of public schools, water works, fire apparatus, postal service, or any other branch of government work similar to insurance in quantity and conditions, an amount of failure and fraud equal to that dis" closed by the history of insurance alone." The alarmist hired by the Republican party in 1884 predicted that if Cleveland should be elected the work shops would be closed and dire distress would brood over tho country. Cleve land was elected and the United States -: 1 . i, .vrti- e tion, and to "teach the young Ameri cans how to shoot," and to cut a dash. They say he has dashed himself out and resembles the fleeing ostrich When yet afar off, the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Welsh outshone the surrounding farm dwellings. The illuminated apartments smiled wel-comely, and as we alighted from our conveyances, the sextuple time of "trip" your fantastic-hoe-and all-hands-round melody wafted away on the evening May breeife, melting into shreds of mi-ttute echoes, as it floated to our tym-pans. Met by Mrs. Welsh, we were escorted into the house, where about twenty five of the liobtown people had already congregated, most of whom were sitting down, as a natural conclusion. Being natural we sat down. The audience were still being treated with some excellent music, made by Mr. Henry Glick and violin, accompanied by William E. Armstrong, who presided over the organ in a most graceful mood, attracting the attention of all the fair damsels west of the river. There was music, some danced, some did not. LTpon this question the crowd split. The flatites, with their plow-shoes and pint bottles, prevailed, and "hoed her down." A pacty would repair to a room and then enjoy a "shindig" with such expressions as "Let her go, Gallagher," etc. After the conclusion of this, the dancers would go outside and "warm up" with a little of "Oh, only one drink wont hurt you," and the party No. 2 would assemble and exercise their lungs on "Down the River," and "Grandfather Tucker," until you would imagine our spirit and soul divided. George the Great whooped for Gallagher, At about 10:60 o clock everybody be gan to look queer at each other. "Not sound was heard, not a tunerai note. There was a long Bilence ; then a mum bling and muttering ; and when a tale yard and a quarter long had been messaged from mouth to mouth in "as- piratical" waves, it reached us. Oh, its purport was this : twenty-five ot Ash ville's had brought their pounds, and the Kobtownites hadn t brought any except the aforesaid prince. What was to be done we didn t know. Ihe flat ites looked "long and hungry," so half the party was foolish when the bride groom was about to come. Nothing was known of their avoracious appetites, for they indeed looked to possess wonderful ones, and Ashville was loth in 'casting pearls before swine. Over against the evidence that the boxes were only prepared for two, and not being desirous of seeing the foolish half sit back and "chew their finger nails," as one lady expressed it, the boxes were returned to their respective owners, midst the gawking of flatites standing around with watering mouths nd parted Hps. But some thought they wished to kiss us farewell. A few minutes later we were on our way home, aware of the fact that a mission school would not come amiss to the majority of the young people west of the river, to convert them from their unintentional ignorance and bombast. Among the large assemblage were many familiar faces, of such as Auditor Wj Miller and lady, and W m. Miller and lady, all of Ashville. Then there was Rob Hott, in manners a distant relative of the digger Indians; Job Carpenter, the great wild west, who wore a cutaway with talse pocKets lor his bottles. And lastly, we have the pleas Ure of describing sheepish George, the Great Hoflman, a creature as we have stated, that has infested that commu nity with his presence for the past two years. His cancellous gourd or top knot was present on this occasion, and to describe his mood makes us sick. To give an epexigesis of this liver-wort causes it to jostle our conscience. His gangliform cranium which will soon be nudibraclnate, presents a most striking appearance and resembles a dilapidated spur ot the Uatskill mountains. We hereby request the invalid au thorities to look alter this young man the rising (?) prince, and take him into enstody. How long such innocent creatures are to be admitted at large, is a question that depends upon the civilization of Robtown and community. ASHVILLIAN. PYTHIAN MEMORIAL DAY. Address of M. K. Marshall, June 11th. Mr Brethren At the last session of the Supreme Lodge, a day was set aside as a memorial day. It is that day that' brings us to this, the last resting place of man, to show a mark of respect to those who once graced the walks of life; men whose counsel was wise and safe. Often in our Castle Hall their voices were uplifted high in praise of the right, to encourage the faith, to strengthen the weak, to condemn that which was wrong. But their familiar sound will be heard no more. The forms we loved are slowly mouldering away "No visored helmet gleams upon their brow ; no greaves of brass, no shining shield nor spear" now rests upon their head. The Spirit that never dies, may even now be hovering o'er U3, witnessing the honors that are being paid to all that is left of them on earth. It is impossible for us to do anything for them now, but we can do those things that will be of advantage to us. Our effort to keep green in our memo ries the virtues oi those who have gone to that "bourne from whence none ever return," will stimulate us in the principles of our patrons, "Damon and Pythias," whose love in life was socommend-able. These are the virtues we are striving to make part of our daily lives. Those whose mortal remains are lying so silently at our feet, were once the loving friends whose friendship was sought after. We come to strew these flowers emblems of beauty and never dying love over the graves of our brethren ; to show to the world though our brethren be dead, still in our memories they shall ever live ; they are still our brethren. As re lay this wreath of myrtle upon the mound, may we con stantly remember that friendship is the corner-stone of our beloved order. "Friendship, the joys to man thou hast given, Recording angels up in heaven Indite within that famous Book, Excepting not one pitying look Not even one small, modest deed, Done kindly in an hour of need, Shorn are thy ways of all deceit ; Hypocrisy lies neath thy feet In truth, all works within thy laws, Perpetuate our noble cause. Friendship is the first principle incul cated as the novitiate enters the por tals of our Castle Hall. It is never to be forgotten. May we, who survive, do the honors to those gone before, ever remembering our obligations one to the other, never letting our faces look down where hatred dwells, but ever upward into the clear, calm, sunshine of never ending love, where is peace, joy and harmony. So let us live here that we constantly may feel a throbbing of joy in each others welfare a mutual in terest we cannot say we have no need tor other s sympathy. Society is so wov en that if a chord be touched we all feel the thrill of joy or pain. Especially is this the case in the Order of Pythian Knighthood, where we are bound to gether by the sacred bonds of Friend ship, Charity and Benevolence. We know not who shall be next to enter the "Dark Valley of the Shadow of Death." Let us be careful how we live. Two delvers into thought in time of youth, Were set on solving all of God's great love ; So bent their brows and rifled many tomes, And strove to picture out the heavenly homes ; And . which the wrong way thither which the sooth. So one waxed old, still puzzling, still perplexed, Peering between the lines of every text, And when he came to die, he hardly knew Whether the grass was green, the heaven's blue. Or what it was so long his brain had vext. The other, wearied with his thinking deep, Saw o'er the way, a creature who did weep In sorrow sore, whereat he stept across And did what in him lay to heal his loss; And lo, the brain born question fell asleep, And slumbered long, till after many years, When in his smile had sweetened r a told tears. His death day found him lying like a child All unafraid, and with a look so mild, Yet full of knowledge, as to quell all fears. and may either change its course entirely or hasten its advance. The rate at which a storm travels between two points is, m fact, calculated by the gra dient or decline of the barometer from one point of the other. When a storm is advancing the wind blows to meet it. Thus a wind blowing from the east or southeast indicates the approach of a storm from the west. When the storm center has passed, however, the wind changes and follows the storm. If a person has a good barometer and a wind gauge he can tell pretty correctly when a storm is coming. Without the instruments the clouds may be watched, and when seen to be moving rapidly irom the southeast, and there are indi cations of the presence of much moist ure in the air, a storm is not far away. The old Scotch saying that A red sky at night is the shepherd's de light. A red sky in the morning, shepherds take warning, is partially true in this country. The red sky in the morning indicates an excess of moisture in the air. Moisture at a high altitude produces a large bow and at a low altitude a small bow. The smaller the bow, therefore, the nearer is the moisture, and, consequently, the sooner will the storm de velop, the old saying that the num ber of stars to be seen inside of the circle indicates the number of days be fore the arrival ot the storm is not reliable, as the position of the moon in the heavens may make the number great or small without regard to storm conditions. All attempts at predicting the weather for months in advance are mere guess-work. Such superstitions as trying to foretell the severity of a winter by the thickness of the breast bone of the goose or the fur of anni- mals originate in some obscure quarter anu are not worth the circulation and attention that they receive. Prof. Daniel Draper, in Chicago Inter-Ocean. Kansas Hail Storm. William Martin, formerly of Walnut township, Pickaway county, writes of a terrible and destructive hail storm at Milford, Kansas, on 7th inst.: '.Last Friday was the hottest day of the year, the thermometer standing at 98 in the shade most of the day. We were all expecting a storm to follow the severe heat, and about 9 p. m., and it came upon us in full force. Hail as large as walnuts and some almost as large as hen s eggs, feu with such vio lence as to knock out every window pane of our house, on the north and west side, and flew in upon the bed. grabbed the children and placed them in the southeast room for safety, and the boys tried to hold bedding in the windows to keep the rain out of the house, but they had to give it up and seek for other quarters to escape the flying glass and hail. The rain fell in torrents, and in a very few minutes ev erything was a sheet of water, and tho creeks all swollen into rivers, sweeping everything in their course. Crops are all ruined, destroyed by the hail. Oats. that promised from 50 to 80 bushels per acre, are entirely destroyed, and wheat the same. My potatoes, about two acres, were just in bloom, and this morning you can't tell that it was a po tato patch. Ihe corn is again buried in the ground. A great many will plant over for the third time, while many will give it up in despair. LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. Widows and "Widowfers. There are over 800,000 more widows than widowers in Tngland. In France for every 100 widowers there are 194 widows. These facts lead the Westminster He- view to treat the growing disposition of men to Tiiarry late in lite as a very seri ous evil of modern society. Such men usually marry younger women, who, in the natural order of things, may be expected to survive them. Even where widowers enter again into matrimony. they do not often take tor wives women of a corresponding or an approximately corresponding age, but young maidens, who are likely to be lett widows. The greater longevity of women has even induced som philosophers to ad vise that, on the contrary, the wife should be older than the husband, and there have been some notable marriages where that was the case. 1 he Baroness Buadett-Couttz and Madame de Stael, for instance, were much older than the men they mar ried. But the law of nature commonly stands in opposition to such unions, though it cannot be denied that the woman with whom a lad first falls in love is very apt to be much his senior. He would marry her it she would have him tor a husband, but she looks on him as a mere boy, and usually refuses to take his love seriously. The natural tendency of women to marry older men seems to be as strong as it is tor men to marry younger women, else the amorous lads would receive an amount of encouragement which might put the average superiority iu age on the side of the brides. Nature therefore arranges all that in a way from which it cannot be diverted by any review article. We agree, however, that it is best for the man and for the race that he should marry early if he is to marry at all. Any great disparity of age between husband and wife is a misfortune. It is better for them to grow old together, so that in the usual course of nature the man and the wo man will reach the end without any great difference in time between them. .V. 1'. Sun.

More than 124,uw,wu ot acres have been settled in the last eight years, representing a larger area than the btates ot Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. The greatest changes have been made in the northwestern group of States and Territories, comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyoming and Montana, where nearly 60,000,000 of acres have been settled in the last eight years. In the southwestern group, comprising Kansas, Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico, nearly 30,000.000 acres have been occupied. On the Pacific coast 19,000,000 of acres more have been set tied, and 13,000,000 of acres must be added for the Southern states on both To Tell the "Weather. Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover that storms in this couutry travel from west to east. He was in terested in observing an eclipse, aricl found that while the observations were spoiled in Philadelphia by a rainstorm that came on just at the beginning ot the eclipse, the sky was clear at Boston until after the eclipse was over. By communicating with intervening towns he learned that -the storm traveled eastward at a uniform rate. Simultaneous observations taken in all parts of the courttry show that nearly all great storms follow the same general direction from the west to the east. The same is true of cold or hot waves Therefore, to tell what the weather will be, in advance, we have only to find out the conditions west of ns. This is practically the course pursued by the sig nal service. The directions of a storm is fre quently diverted by some local cause. sides of the Mississippi. Along the Pa cific roads 18,000,000 of acres have been I A low baronietrr, or large amount of opened since the last census. moisture in me air, attracts a siurm, Trtbnle of Respect.

He must be a good rider, have complete control of his lariat, a good knowledge of the country and be a keen judge of cattle, and their brands. Riding all sorts of horses, as he does, soon gives him an intuitive knowleege as to whether any particular horse will give him trouble and when once on he has got to stick for all he knows how. His rope comes in handy fifty times a day either to catch some maddened cow or runaway calf, to haul wood and hundreds of other uses. Without a knowledge of the country he could never pilot a branch of cattle to the main herd or could he look up strays and finally other cattle men would palm off the most miserable specimens upon him if he could not tell food beef from bad. His readiness to distinguish and knowledge ot the various marks used to denote ownership is exceedingly important, especially in the spring, as disputes frequently arise. All these qualities a really good cow man excels in and when to these is added cheerfulness, adaptability, and good humor it is hard to find a more pleasant companion. The life is hard but the freedom and excitement seems in most instances to outweigh thehardships. The States so fortunate as to be out of debt are Illinois, Wisconsin, Dela ware, West Virginia and Colorado. West Virginia is prohibited by her Con stitution from going into debt. Califor nia and Iowa have no debt to settle, though paying interest on a school fund. Kentucky is nearly free from debt. New York owes $7,000,000. Ohio and Minnesota less than $4,000,000. New Jersey and Kansas less than $2,-000,000. Virginia is the most heavily burdened, having a funded debt of over 000,000, and an unfunded debt of over 8,000,000. Massachusetts carries the next heaviest debt, over $31,000,000. Next conies Tennessee, $1 7,000,000 : Pennsylvania, $15,000,000; North Caro lina, $13,000,000; Louisiana, $12,000,000, and Maryland' $11,000,000. Total indebtedness of the States is $220,000,-000, which is less than 1 per cent, of their aggregate taxable property. 1 he heaviest rate of taxation is in Nevada, Nebraska and Louisiana. And, though Massachusetts stands second in the size of her debt, she has, the lowest rate of taxation in the Union less than 12 cents per $100. The spring of 1889 will go down as one which has broken all records since the signal office was established, so far as the amount of rainfall is concerned. The months of April and May especially have been marked by a succession of heavy rains, which have generally lasted for several days at a time. During the month of April more than twice as much rain fell as in any other April since the signal service was established and May has ben as bad. ihe total rainfall for the month of May has been 10.59 inches, or 7.21 inches in excess of the rainfall of May of last year. The record of the last three months exceeds that for the same period of last year by 13.15 inches. This' is the record at the weather bureau at Washington.

Private B.ilzell announces that enjoyed a season of unexampled prosperity. The spellbinders employed by the Republican party in 1888 prophesied that if Harrison should be elected and the policy of high tariff thus be established, wages would go up and America would be the workingman's paradise. Harrison was elected and the policy of high tariff was installed, but the United States never knew such a season of hardship for the people who do manual labor as began immediately upon the announcement of that result, and the reduction of wages has been frequent in the very branches of indus try "protected" by the highest tariff.

The Republicans have reduced the State levy lor taxation to two and sev en-tenths mills the lowest it has been since 1840. Circleville Union-Herald. Yes, and the reduction, upon its face was made for strictly electioneering purposes, as the State is now about a million and a half of dollars in debt, while the State treasurer is drawing in advance upon the June collections for means to meet current expenses. The idea is, we suppose, that Ohio's share of the old war tax will be refunded time to meet the inevitable deficit that has been so deceitfully bargained for. In any event, however, the reduction argument will be available during the campaign. Bellefontaine Examiner. There have been organized in tha United States 822 life insurance com panies, and of this number only 47 are now alive. Mr. Adelbert Hamilton, in the Forum, uses these figures, and oth ers like them, to show that the. public service of the country is more econom icaliy managed than private enter prises. He sets the tailures of the latter over against the jobbery of the former, and declares that "our government history will be searched in vain to find in the management of public schools, water works, fire apparatus, postal service, or any other branch of government work similar to insurance in quantity and conditions, an amount of failure and fraud equal to that dis" closed by the history of insurance alone." The alarmist hired by the Republican party in 1884 predicted that if Cleveland should be elected the work shops would be closed and dire distress would brood over tho country. Cleve land was elected and the United States -: 1 . i, .vrti- e tion, and to "teach the young Ameri cans how to shoot," and to cut a dash. They say he has dashed himself out and resembles the fleeing ostrich When yet afar off, the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Welsh outshone the surrounding farm dwellings. The illuminated apartments smiled wel-comely, and as we alighted from our conveyances, the sextuple time of "trip" your fantastic-hoe-and all-hands-round melody wafted away on the evening May breeife, melting into shreds of mi-ttute echoes, as it floated to our tym-pans. Met by Mrs. Welsh, we were escorted into the house, where about twenty five of the liobtown people had already congregated, most of whom were sitting down, as a natural conclusion. Being natural we sat down. The audience were still being treated with some excellent music, made by Mr. Henry Glick and violin, accompanied by William E. Armstrong, who presided over the organ in a most graceful mood, attracting the attention of all the fair damsels west of the river. There was music, some danced, some did not. LTpon this question the crowd split. The flatites, with their plow-shoes and pint bottles, prevailed, and "hoed her down." A pacty would repair to a room and then enjoy a "shindig" with such expressions as "Let her go, Gallagher," etc. After the conclusion of this, the dancers would go outside and "warm up" with a little of "Oh, only one drink wont hurt you," and the party No. 2 would assemble and exercise their lungs on "Down the River," and "Grandfather Tucker," until you would imagine our spirit and soul divided. George the Great whooped for Gallagher, At about 10:60 o clock everybody be gan to look queer at each other. "Not sound was heard, not a tunerai note. There was a long Bilence ; then a mum bling and muttering ; and when a tale yard and a quarter long had been messaged from mouth to mouth in "as- piratical" waves, it reached us. Oh, its purport was this : twenty-five ot Ash ville's had brought their pounds, and the Kobtownites hadn t brought any except the aforesaid prince. What was to be done we didn t know. Ihe flat ites looked "long and hungry," so half the party was foolish when the bride groom was about to come. Nothing was known of their avoracious appetites, for they indeed looked to possess wonderful ones, and Ashville was loth in 'casting pearls before swine. Over against the evidence that the boxes were only prepared for two, and not being desirous of seeing the foolish half sit back and "chew their finger nails," as one lady expressed it, the boxes were returned to their respective owners, midst the gawking of flatites standing around with watering mouths nd parted Hps. But some thought they wished to kiss us farewell. A few minutes later we were on our way home, aware of the fact that a mission school would not come amiss to the majority of the young people west of the river, to convert them from their unintentional ignorance and bombast. Among the large assemblage were many familiar faces, of such as Auditor Wj Miller and lady, and W m. Miller and lady, all of Ashville. Then there was Rob Hott, in manners a distant relative of the digger Indians; Job Carpenter, the great wild west, who wore a cutaway with talse pocKets lor his bottles. And lastly, we have the pleas Ure of describing sheepish George, the Great Hoflman, a creature as we have stated, that has infested that commu nity with his presence for the past two years. His cancellous gourd or top knot was present on this occasion, and to describe his mood makes us sick. To give an epexigesis of this liver-wort causes it to jostle our conscience. His gangliform cranium which will soon be nudibraclnate, presents a most striking appearance and resembles a dilapidated spur ot the Uatskill mountains. We hereby request the invalid au thorities to look alter this young man the rising (?) prince, and take him into enstody. How long such innocent creatures are to be admitted at large, is a question that depends upon the civilization of Robtown and community. ASHVILLIAN. PYTHIAN MEMORIAL DAY. Address of M. K. Marshall, June 11th. Mr Brethren At the last session of the Supreme Lodge, a day was set aside as a memorial day. It is that day that' brings us to this, the last resting place of man, to show a mark of respect to those who once graced the walks of life; men whose counsel was wise and safe. Often in our Castle Hall their voices were uplifted high in praise of the right, to encourage the faith, to strengthen the weak, to condemn that which was wrong. But their familiar sound will be heard no more. The forms we loved are slowly mouldering away "No visored helmet gleams upon their brow ; no greaves of brass, no shining shield nor spear" now rests upon their head. The Spirit that never dies, may even now be hovering o'er U3, witnessing the honors that are being paid to all that is left of them on earth. It is impossible for us to do anything for them now, but we can do those things that will be of advantage to us. Our effort to keep green in our memo ries the virtues oi those who have gone to that "bourne from whence none ever return," will stimulate us in the principles of our patrons, "Damon and Pythias," whose love in life was socommend-able. These are the virtues we are striving to make part of our daily lives. Those whose mortal remains are lying so silently at our feet, were once the loving friends whose friendship was sought after. We come to strew these flowers emblems of beauty and never dying love over the graves of our brethren ; to show to the world though our brethren be dead, still in our memories they shall ever live ; they are still our brethren. As re lay this wreath of myrtle upon the mound, may we con stantly remember that friendship is the corner-stone of our beloved order. "Friendship, the joys to man thou hast given, Recording angels up in heaven Indite within that famous Book, Excepting not one pitying look Not even one small, modest deed, Done kindly in an hour of need, Shorn are thy ways of all deceit ; Hypocrisy lies neath thy feet In truth, all works within thy laws, Perpetuate our noble cause. Friendship is the first principle incul cated as the novitiate enters the por tals of our Castle Hall. It is never to be forgotten. May we, who survive, do the honors to those gone before, ever remembering our obligations one to the other, never letting our faces look down where hatred dwells, but ever upward into the clear, calm, sunshine of never ending love, where is peace, joy and harmony. So let us live here that we constantly may feel a throbbing of joy in each others welfare a mutual in terest we cannot say we have no need tor other s sympathy. Society is so wov en that if a chord be touched we all feel the thrill of joy or pain. Especially is this the case in the Order of Pythian Knighthood, where we are bound to gether by the sacred bonds of Friend ship, Charity and Benevolence. We know not who shall be next to enter the "Dark Valley of the Shadow of Death." Let us be careful how we live. Two delvers into thought in time of youth, Were set on solving all of God's great love ; So bent their brows and rifled many tomes, And strove to picture out the heavenly homes ; And . which the wrong way thither which the sooth. So one waxed old, still puzzling, still perplexed, Peering between the lines of every text, And when he came to die, he hardly knew Whether the grass was green, the heaven's blue. Or what it was so long his brain had vext. The other, wearied with his thinking deep, Saw o'er the way, a creature who did weep In sorrow sore, whereat he stept across And did what in him lay to heal his loss; And lo, the brain born question fell asleep, And slumbered long, till after many years, When in his smile had sweetened r a told tears. His death day found him lying like a child All unafraid, and with a look so mild, Yet full of knowledge, as to quell all fears. and may either change its course entirely or hasten its advance. The rate at which a storm travels between two points is, m fact, calculated by the gra dient or decline of the barometer from one point of the other. When a storm is advancing the wind blows to meet it. Thus a wind blowing from the east or southeast indicates the approach of a storm from the west. When the storm center has passed, however, the wind changes and follows the storm. If a person has a good barometer and a wind gauge he can tell pretty correctly when a storm is coming. Without the instruments the clouds may be watched, and when seen to be moving rapidly irom the southeast, and there are indi cations of the presence of much moist ure in the air, a storm is not far away. The old Scotch saying that A red sky at night is the shepherd's de light. A red sky in the morning, shepherds take warning, is partially true in this country. The red sky in the morning indicates an excess of moisture in the air. Moisture at a high altitude produces a large bow and at a low altitude a small bow. The smaller the bow, therefore, the nearer is the moisture, and, consequently, the sooner will the storm de velop, the old saying that the num ber of stars to be seen inside of the circle indicates the number of days be fore the arrival ot the storm is not reliable, as the position of the moon in the heavens may make the number great or small without regard to storm conditions. All attempts at predicting the weather for months in advance are mere guess-work. Such superstitions as trying to foretell the severity of a winter by the thickness of the breast bone of the goose or the fur of anni- mals originate in some obscure quarter anu are not worth the circulation and attention that they receive. Prof. Daniel Draper, in Chicago Inter-Ocean. Kansas Hail Storm. William Martin, formerly of Walnut township, Pickaway county, writes of a terrible and destructive hail storm at Milford, Kansas, on 7th inst.: '.Last Friday was the hottest day of the year, the thermometer standing at 98 in the shade most of the day. We were all expecting a storm to follow the severe heat, and about 9 p. m., and it came upon us in full force. Hail as large as walnuts and some almost as large as hen s eggs, feu with such vio lence as to knock out every window pane of our house, on the north and west side, and flew in upon the bed. grabbed the children and placed them in the southeast room for safety, and the boys tried to hold bedding in the windows to keep the rain out of the house, but they had to give it up and seek for other quarters to escape the flying glass and hail. The rain fell in torrents, and in a very few minutes ev erything was a sheet of water, and tho creeks all swollen into rivers, sweeping everything in their course. Crops are all ruined, destroyed by the hail. Oats. that promised from 50 to 80 bushels per acre, are entirely destroyed, and wheat the same. My potatoes, about two acres, were just in bloom, and this morning you can't tell that it was a po tato patch. Ihe corn is again buried in the ground. A great many will plant over for the third time, while many will give it up in despair. LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. Widows and "Widowfers. There are over 800,000 more widows than widowers in Tngland. In France for every 100 widowers there are 194 widows. These facts lead the Westminster He- view to treat the growing disposition of men to Tiiarry late in lite as a very seri ous evil of modern society. Such men usually marry younger women, who, in the natural order of things, may be expected to survive them. Even where widowers enter again into matrimony. they do not often take tor wives women of a corresponding or an approximately corresponding age, but young maidens, who are likely to be lett widows. The greater longevity of women has even induced som philosophers to ad vise that, on the contrary, the wife should be older than the husband, and there have been some notable marriages where that was the case. 1 he Baroness Buadett-Couttz and Madame de Stael, for instance, were much older than the men they mar ried. But the law of nature commonly stands in opposition to such unions, though it cannot be denied that the woman with whom a lad first falls in love is very apt to be much his senior. He would marry her it she would have him tor a husband, but she looks on him as a mere boy, and usually refuses to take his love seriously. The natural tendency of women to marry older men seems to be as strong as it is tor men to marry younger women, else the amorous lads would receive an amount of encouragement which might put the average superiority iu age on the side of the brides. Nature therefore arranges all that in a way from which it cannot be diverted by any review article. We agree, however, that it is best for the man and for the race that he should marry early if he is to marry at all. Any great disparity of age between husband and wife is a misfortune. It is better for them to grow old together, so that in the usual course of nature the man and the wo man will reach the end without any great difference in time between them. .V. 1'. Sun.

More than 124,uw,wu ot acres have been settled in the last eight years, representing a larger area than the btates ot Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. The greatest changes have been made in the northwestern group of States and Territories, comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyoming and Montana, where nearly 60,000,000 of acres have been settled in the last eight years. In the southwestern group, comprising Kansas, Colorado, Missouri and New Mexico, nearly 30,000.000 acres have been occupied. On the Pacific coast 19,000,000 of acres more have been set tied, and 13,000,000 of acres must be added for the Southern states on both To Tell the "Weather. Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover that storms in this couutry travel from west to east. He was in terested in observing an eclipse, aricl found that while the observations were spoiled in Philadelphia by a rainstorm that came on just at the beginning ot the eclipse, the sky was clear at Boston until after the eclipse was over. By communicating with intervening towns he learned that -the storm traveled eastward at a uniform rate. Simultaneous observations taken in all parts of the courttry show that nearly all great storms follow the same general direction from the west to the east. The same is true of cold or hot waves Therefore, to tell what the weather will be, in advance, we have only to find out the conditions west of ns. This is practically the course pursued by the sig nal service. The directions of a storm is fre quently diverted by some local cause. sides of the Mississippi.

He must be a good rider, have complete control of his lariat, a good knowledge of the country and be a keen judge of cattle, and their brands. Riding all sorts of horses, as he does, soon gives him an intuitive knowleege as to whether any particular horse will give him trouble and when once on he has got to stick for all he knows how. His rope comes in handy fifty times a day either to catch some maddened cow or runaway calf, to haul wood and hundreds of other uses. Without a knowledge of the country he could never pilot a branch of cattle to the main herd or could he look up strays and finally other cattle men would palm off the most miserable specimens upon him if he could not tell food beef from bad. His readiness to distinguish and knowledge ot the various marks used to denote ownership is exceedingly important, especially in the spring, as disputes frequently arise. All these qualities a really good cow man excels in and when to these is added cheerfulness, adaptability, and good humor it is hard to find a more pleasant companion. The life is hard but the freedom and excitement seems in most instances to outweigh thehardships. The States so fortunate as to be out of debt are Illinois, Wisconsin, Dela ware, West Virginia and Colorado. West Virginia is prohibited by her Con stitution from going into debt. Califor nia and Iowa have no debt to settle, though paying interest on a school fund. Kentucky is nearly free from debt. New York owes $7,000,000. Ohio and Minnesota less than $4,000,000. New Jersey and Kansas less than $2,-000,000. Virginia is the most heavily burdened, having a funded debt of over 000,000, and an unfunded debt of over 8,000,000. Massachusetts carries the next heaviest debt, over $31,000,000. Next conies Tennessee, $1 7,000,000 : Pennsylvania, $15,000,000; North Caro lina, $13,000,000; Louisiana, $12,000,000, and Maryland' $11,000,000. Total indebtedness of the States is $220,000,-000, which is less than 1 per cent, of their aggregate taxable property. 1 he heaviest rate of taxation is in Nevada, Nebraska and Louisiana. And, though Massachusetts stands second in the size of her debt, she has, the lowest rate of taxation in the Union less than 12 cents per $100. The spring of 1889 will go down as one which has broken all records since the signal office was established, so far as the amount of rainfall is concerned. The months of April and May especially have been marked by a succession of heavy rains, which have generally lasted for several days at a time. During the month of April more than twice as much rain fell as in any other April since the signal service was established and May has ben as bad. ihe total rainfall for the month of May has been 10.59 inches, or 7.21 inches in excess of the rainfall of May of last year. The record of the last three months exceeds that for the same period of last year by 13.15 inches. This' is the record at the weather bureau at Washington.
